Soaking up the beach
Where can you bask under the golden rays of the sun on an empty beach?
Welcome to Varkala in Kerala.
A four hour drive from Fort Kochi, Varkala is a quiet seaside destination on the shores of the Arabian Sea, about 50 km north of Thiruvananthapuram.
The high cliffs offer a spectacular view of the sea below.
• Airfare for Rs 100 and less!
I must admit, this is one of the cleanest beaches I have been to. Lifeguards and cops patrol the entire stretch of the beach, to ensure your safety. You can relax and enjoy yourselves bouncing in the waves.
